Go Skateboarding Day – June 21, 2013

By Terry Orr

Every year on June 21, skateboarders
around the globe celebrate the pure exhilaration, creativity, and spirit of one
of the most influential activities in the world by blowing off all other
obligations to go skateboarding.

An interesting, though
somewhat checkered history, it continues to thrive globally and an Olympic
event. Throughout the year, there are
many events for skateboarders to demonstrate their skills and compete with the best.

Safety – like in any sport –
is also important here for skateboarding.
